Listening
Haydn String Quartet in C, op. 33 #3, "Bird" mvt. 1 exposition
Haydn String Quartet in B-flat, op. 50 #1 mvt. 1 exposition
Haydn String Quartet in D, op. 50 #6, "Frog" mvt. 1
Haydn Symphony #92 in G, "Oxford" mvt. 1
Mozart Piano Concerto #9 in E-flat, K. 271 mvt. 1
Mozart Piano Concerto #17 in G, K. 453 mvt. 1 exposition, mvt. 2
Mozart Don Giovanni Act I.3 Aria "Ah chi mi dice mai"
Mozart Le Nozze di Figaro Act III.18 Sextet "Riconosci in questo amplesso", .19 Recit & Aria "E Susanna non vien/Dove sono"
Terms and Names (to define, identify, explain significance of)
sonata form - expository material in the tonic, then the dominant, development that passes through many keys and transitions back into tonic, which then recapitulates the expository material heard at the beginning, sometimes with a coda
"London" symphonies - Haydn's symphonies 93-98 composed in 1791-2, second set 1794-5. Named for impresario Johann Peter Salomon who commissioned them and brought Haydn to London. Only the first nine were actually composed for him; the last three received their first performances in '95 at a new series, the opera concerts. The name "London" applies also specifically to symphony 104.
Esterhazy - Haydn's patron for the majority of his career. Technically owned all of Haydn's compositions until the contract was renegotiated in 1779. Died 1790.
Singspiel - German text in which spoken dialogue alternates with song, frequently set in a rural or fantastical or exotic place, characters are artisans, usually of the middle class, or exhibit simpler or humbler virtues than characters from opera seria. Initiated by Joseph II in a decade-long attepmt to establish a German-language opera tradition.
Lorenzo da Ponte - Mozart's principal librettist, with whom he wrote his most successful
"Haydn" quartets - Mozart's first mature quartets; he dedicates them to Haydn, further evidence of his role as a codifier of the string quartets
Die Zauberfloete - Singspiel, Mozart's last opera, libretto by Schikaneder. It has heavily Masonic influences
symphony - Had a less well-defined function than it does today; sometimes called an overture, could be a church symphony. Required almost no rehearsal time and no conductor, so included no improvisation or decoration; it must express the sublime and be full of grandeur and magnificence. It was only played once, so it must be clear upon first listening. Haydn's model for a symphony coalesces when he starts writing for an international audience in the 1780s. Movement 1-Allegro, sonata form in tonic. Movement 2-Slow Adagio, sonatina form (sonata form without development), song form, theme and variations, not in tonic, some version of subdominant (flatward). 3-Minuet & Trio, miniaturized sonata form (ABA), moderate, in tonic. 4-Finale Allegro, sonata, relaxed, or sonata-rondo, light, opening theme returns.
rondo - form of aria common in late 1700s characterized by a slow part followed by a fast part
Koechel - a botanist who catalogued Mozart's works in chronological order in the 19th century, one of the first catalogues with that amount of scholarship behind it
Don Giovanni - Mozart opera, Da Ponte libretto, based on the the Don Juan story. Important because of its genre ambiguity: buffa or seria?
Opus 33 quartets - First quartets over which Haydn had control of publication, because they were published after the renegotiation of Haydn's contract with Esterhazy. Published 1782
opera buffa - comic opera genre, popular commercial successesin language of the audience, focused, tends to use contemporary plebeian characters, explores society rather than individual, ends in a wedding and restoration of order after events of misrule, identity/gender/society disruption; no hero per se
double exposition - Mozart piano concertos context; ritornello, orchestra has its own exposition, then the soloist; they have the same material, but they perform two different functions; the second exposition typically presents new material more idiomatic to the piano
"Paris" Symphonies - Haydn's symphonies 82-87 composed in 1784-5, comissioned by a Parisian Mason, Comte D'ogny. Important because it was Haydn's first commission outside Esterhazy. 82 was the beginning of Haydn's form pattern; 1-81 were more vague in form, with a pattern not necessarily symphonic.
Emanuel Schikaneder - entrepreneur, actor and owner of a theater in which Die Zauberfloete, for which he wrote the libretto and which he commissioned, was first performed. He was also the first Papageno.
Prague - important to Mozart's career because he was very popular there; Don Giovanni and La Clemenza di Tito were premiered there
period - a pair of phrases clearly belonging together, an antecedent and a consequent
Le Nozze di Figaro - One of the Da Ponte librettos, based on a play by Beaumarchais. An opera buffa
slow movement form - also known as sonatina form, basically sonata form without a development
tonality - reaches its height, defined clearly in the classical period. The simple structure of V-I used to create tension and drama
